Description
Eucalyptus is commonly used with success for bronchitis, coughs and rheumatism.
Eucalyptus has a variety of other uses for which its effectiveness remains unproven. Among them are bladder, liver, and gallbladder conditions, whooping cough, fever, flu, hoarseness, asthma, diabetes, scarlet fever, measles, sinus conditions, loss of appetite, wounds, acne, bleeding gums, sore mouth, nerve pain, poorly healing sores, worms, gonorrhea, and digestive complaints. In Asia, it is also used for headache, bad breath, threadworm, and tuberculosis.
Eucalyptus is the signature tree of Australia, but can now be found in subtropical regions throughout the world. With a distinctive silver-gray bark and twisted trunk, some species of Eucalyptus grow as high as a 12-story building. The medicinal properties of Eucalyptus reside in its oil, which is extracted from the fresh leaves and branch tips, and is found in the dried leaves. It acts as a decongestant, loosens phlegm, and relieves spasms. Applied to the skin, the oil improves local circulation. In laboratory tests, the oil has shown an ability to kill bacteria and fungi. Like the similar soothing agents menthol and camphor, Eucalyptus is found in several familiar over-the-counter remedies, including Listerine Antiseptic Mouthrinse, Mentholatum Cherry Chest Rub, and Vicks VapoRub.
Eucalyptus is also known as Blue Gum and Red Gum.

Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].

I bought a while back Eucalyptus tea and now I am about to buy more... I really like it! It is just right not too strong like others. I usually drink it hot with honey and I give to my 7 year old son when he starts coughing and he really like it, and makes him feel much better.
